yeah.. unfortunately you'd have to subscribe to *everything* for about a month to know where activity is. it'll be empty and then there will be 40 people posting..

the slackware one comes alive about every other week, alt.folklore.computers blows up randomly.. the C and C++ ones in a month or so have more message volume than all the bbs message nets combined for a year probably (you wouldn't know it's not 1993 in there) .. i don't think i'd want that high of volume going through a bbs though..

so either not worth it, or not worth it because it'd be annoying to read through? *shrug*
